“…Abbasi et al [97] tested the phytoremedial activity of Bacopa monnieri using their own SHEFROL® ("sheet flow root level") bioreactor. They found in their test that by using Bacopa monnieri in the SHEFROL® bioreactor, suspended solids in sewage water were reduced by 90%, chemical oxygen demand was reduced by 76-77%, biological oxygen demand by 80%, Nitrogen 65%, Phosphorus 55%, Zinc 42%, Copper 42%, and Nickel 41%, can only be reduced through hydraulic retention of six hours.…”

Since the beginning of humankind, people are using numerous plants to cure diseases and abnormalities. Bacopa monnieri has been used by people for a long time. This plant has several medicinal and biochemical properties which would be beneficial to treat diseases. The current review article summarizes the medicinal, presence of the bioactive compound, mechanism of action, therapeutic importance, clinical trials, ethnobotanical usage, and distribution of the plant with respect to India and worldwide. Relevant information and literature on Bacopa monnieri were extracted from different sources and their finding were discussed in the manuscript. The number of therapeutic properties of the plant has been seen in the animal model experiment including anti-diarrheal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-convulsant, hepatoprotective, antiulcer, anti-depressant, anti-hyperglycemic and anti-nociceptive activity, immunostimulatory activity, and wound healing activity. This article recapitulates ethnopharmacological uses of Bacopa monnieri to explore its therapeutic potentials thereby providing a basis for future research. Bacopa monnieri exhibits a comprehensive of pharmacological activities that could be observed by the presence of a vast range of chemical constituents. Manuscript also comprises tissue culture techniques and propagation of Bacopa monnieri. The study also provides a descriptive outlook on the uses of Bacopa monnieri in wastewater treatment. This review article highlights the endless possibilities present in the plant and also sheds light on research that has not yet been done on this plant and may prove useful if done in the future.

“…absorbed the most Calcium (Ca) at 27191.76 mg/kg, followed by Ludwigia sp, which absorbs Calcium (Ca) at 20410.79 mg/kg. Tabassum-Abbasi [12] states that Bacopa monnieri is a hyperaccumulator in phytoremediation and decreases nitrogen, phosphorous, zinc, copper, nickel, and manganese levels up to 50%. Another case of Bacopa monnieri, can reduce fecal coliform and fecal streptococci until > 99% [12].…”

High levels of human activity and the amount of waste generated from these activities often end up in rivers. One of the largest and longest rivers in the Jakarta and West Java regions is the Ciliwung River. The purpose of this study was to test the phytoremediation ability of 5 types of aquatic plants propagated through tissue culture (Bacopa sp., Eichornia diversifolia, Althenanthera reinicky, Ludwigia sp, and Murdannia, sp.). The research method used was tissue culture water plants to be tested in an aquarium filled with water collected from the Ciliwung River for 1 month, and the water was replaced every 5 days. Utilization of water plants from Tissue Culture is a novelty to see heavy metal uptake sharply and precisely because it is sterile and free of water pollution. Analysis of heavy metal uptake in aquatic plants using NAA (Neutron Activation Analysis) Method. The result is Ciliwung River waters contain Aluminum (Al), Brom (Br), Calcium (Ca), Cerium (Ce), Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr), Iron (Fe), Lanthanum (La), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Scandium (Sc), Sodium (Na), Strontium (Sr), Thorium (Th), and Zinc (Zn). Bacopa sp has shown the ability to absorb large amounts of heavy metal elements with a 100% survival rate, with the highest absorption element being Calcium (Ca) of 2.7191, 76 mg / kg. Murdannia was unable to absorb La and Ce and was the weakest species among the species tested.

With an objective to develop a closed loop wastewater biorefinery, the performance of two free floating aquatic weeds water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes, Mart, Solms) and salvinia (Salvinia molesta, Mitchell) is explored when either is used as the main bioagent for treating sewage in “sheet flow root level” (SHEFROL) bioreactors. Both the macrophytes prove to be easy to propagate and maintain while they are able to help in achieving significant primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment steps of greywater in a single step. Water hyacinth is able to remove suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen, soluble phosphorous, zinc, copper, nickel, and manganese to the average extents of 81%, 79%, 43%, 41%, 40%, 36%, 34%, and 29%, respectively. The reduction in COD and BOD levels achieved by salvinia is marginally lesser than by water hyacinth but in terms of the removal of other pollutants, the performance of salvinia is comparable to that of water hyacinth. It is possible to convert the dead or harvested plants to organic fertilizer thus making it a closed‐loop system with no waste of its own.
